Yak Single - Soot

The Colour

In old stories, soot was protection: smeared on faces to hide from spirits, or kept in hearths as a charm of safety. Soot is that shadowed magic, protective and enduring.

This base and colour is perfect to make the Spider Web Dress by Butterfly Blues Crochet, and you only need one skein! 

The Base

Yak Single is one of our most luxurious fingering weight yarn bases. The natural grey of the yak hair darkens our colourways intensely, while the added silk gives it a beautiful lustrous sheen. Together they form a textile that is a delight both visually and physically. It knits up on 3mm needles.

These 120g and 480m skeins are enough for a medium shawl. Suitable for any pattern and stitch, especially for those more intricate and fun stitches.
